It’s been a busy month with loads of products to sample and trial. Today, we feature the latest things we love – Dermalogica’s latest Retinol Serum, TOM Organic Period Care, MadeFrom™ Vitamin C gummies for kids and Ardell Professional’s Brow Lamination kit.
Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum, Dermalogica

Dee: “Dermalogica has just released a new serum and I’m super-impressed with it.”
Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum is a high-dose, fast-acting 3.5% retinoid complex with an advanced retinoid blend and booster technology to help transform the appearance of skin, without compromising skin health.
The innovative serum works to address four signs of skin ageing – helping to reverse the appearance of wrinkles, retexturise skin and minimise the appearance of pores, and even out skin tone.
Dee: “Whenever I apply this serum, my face instantly feels hydrated and definitely looks smoother. I feel it’s given my skin a good boost of hydration and it’s definitely looking a lot less tired.”
After cleansing at night, apply a thin layer over your face, then apply a night cream. As the product contains Retinol, don’t forget to wear an SPF during the day.

TOM Organic Period Care
TOM Organic, a renowned period care brand, firmly believes that even the smallest decisions we make in our daily lives can have a profound impact. One such choice is what we put inside and against our bodies, and that is exactly why TOM Organic stands out as the sole period care brand in New Zealand offering the widest range of disposable and reusable options.
Having already gained popularity and trust in Australia, TOM Organic expanded its reach to New Zealand in 2022. With a commitment to catering to every individual’s menstrual needs across all stages of life, they offer a comprehensive selection of products. From tampons, pads, and liners to absorbent, leak-free period underwear, TOM Organic goes beyond convention by also introducing a period cup with its very own stylish microwave steriliser – a pioneering concept in Australasia.
Beyond personal comfort and convenience, the choices we make for our bodies during each day of our menstrual cycle can significantly impact the environment. Organic cotton, a key material used by TOM Organic, has the advantage of breaking down and decomposing faster than the materials found in many conventional period products. Furthermore, it’s also free from chemical bleach, making it gentle and breathable.
With TOM Organic, women can consciously opt for what aligns with their values and contributes positively to the planet, all while ensuring they receive the necessary period protection.
In recognition of the diverse needs of their customers, TOM Organic period care products are readily available not only at all reputable supermarkets but also at Chemist Warehouse.
TOM Organic period care is available at all good supermarkets and in Chemist Warehouse.
MadeFrom™ – The Food Based Nutrition Brand for Kids

Debbie Wong, the Co-Founder of MadeFrom™, has embarked on a mission to support parents in achieving optimal health and wellbeing for their children. Recognising the importance of providing essential nutrients without harmful additives and added sugars, Debbie set out to create a range of food-based supplements through MadeFrom™.
At the core of MadeFrom™’s philosophy is the belief that nature offers the best nutrition. Therefore, they utilise real food as the foundation of their products, ensuring that children receive nutrients in their most natural form.
The inaugural product in the MadeFrom™ range is the Vitamin C Gummies for Kids. These gummies are carefully formulated to strengthen a child’s immune system,
using Vitamin C derived exclusively from plant-based food sources rather than synthetic chemicals. By prioritising plant-based sources, MadeFrom™ ensures optimal bio-compatibility and absorption, maximising the benefits for children’s health.
One of the key differentiators of MadeFrom™’s gummies is their commitment to using ingredients sourced from nature, rather than relying on laboratory-produced substances. Each component is meticulously selected to uphold the highest quality standards. The products are formulated in New Zealand and are vegan-friendly, aligning with the dietary preferences and restrictions of many families. In addition, the gummies contain cofactors found naturally in food, such as antioxidants, flavonoids, and phytonutrients, providing a holistic approach to children’s well-being.
Sustainability is also an integral part of MadeFrom™’s business practices. The company is dedicated to building a more sustainable future for our little ones. To minimise their environmental impact, MadeFrom™ utilises padded mailers made from recycled materials, reducing waste and supporting the circular economy. Their bottles are crafted from recyclable materials and designed to be smaller, contributing to a reduction in plastic consumption and the overall use of materials. By embracing sustainable packaging solutions, MadeFrom™ aims to inspire other businesses and individuals to prioritise eco-conscious practises.

Brow Lamination, Ardell Professional
Brow Lamination is a relatively new procedure – it’s a keratin brow lift designed to set the brow hairs in an upward, uniform direction, giving you fuller, fluffier looking brows. For those experiencing thinning or unruly eyebrows, the procedure has been especially welcomed. Unlike microblading, needles and colouring are not involved.
One of the key advantages of the Ardell Professional Brow Lamination Kit is its simplicity and safety.

The process involves just four simple steps, making it easy for anyone to use. By following the instructions provided, you can achieve professional-grade results without any advanced training or expertise. The kit ensures that the application is safe and user-friendly, allowing individuals to transform their brows with confidence.
Once the Brow Lamination procedure is complete, it’s important to note that the brows require you wait a recommended 24 to 48 hours before exposing the brows to water. This waiting period allows the product to fully activate and ensures long-lasting, waterproof results. After the designated time has passed, you can enjoy beautiful, smudge-proof brows that stay put throughout the day.
